Would Australia be coming from the Hifiman also? would seem silly to ship from Asia to US then back to Australia.


Casey said on the Geek Force forums that the shipments to Australia would come from their warehouse in the US
 
 
OOPS, I missed Casey's response here...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice here, if I may. I currently own an Audio-gd 15.32, which runs a D5000, an Ultrasone 2900 and an Audeze LCD 2 v2. Would the geek pulse be a sidegrade, or an upgrade? Just wondering if I should get one, or perhaps look into its more expensive brothers.

Lastly, we've been asked if we could provide one last perk that's not quite an SE, but has some of SE's features. I talked it over with Larry, and the answer is yes, we can do that. We've decided that the most impact we can make on Geek Pulse Xfi without going all the way to SE will be in the already crazy-nuts THD+N performance. So we may do a "THD Performance Enhancement" for Geek Pulse Xfi only. We're thinking the lowest we can charge for that is $168, considering the extra time and different parts we'll need. I'd like to put this to a vote, too, before we commit. So I'll put that as an option in the poll that I mentioned earlier.

It seems like the Pulse Xfi is delayed enough such that they can (possibly) offer this perk.

I already sent a ticket to support regarding this issue, but maybe you guys can help clear somethings up for me. Looking at Gavin's post, to upgrade the Pulse to Pulse Xfi would be $506. To upgrade the Pulse X to Pulse Xfi would be $218. If I understand his post correctly:
 
Pulse + "moving on up" Pulse Xfi: $399 + $506 = $905
Pulse X + "moving on up" Pulse Xfi: $777 + $218 = $995
I paid $1399 for my Pulse Xfi.
 
It seems to me like it is cheaper to upgrade from a Pulse or Pulse X, rather than buying the Pulse Xfi directly, right? I am assuming those who joins the "moving on up" perk are expected to buy the Pulse Xfi SE, but even that is still an incredible price reduction. And I'm sure not everyone who upgrade will be buying a Pulse Xfi SE, but just to get the "THD Performance Enhancement" perk, which is $168.
 
I don't know, kind of feel like I got screwed. Can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind the prices for the "moving on up" perk?

You're going to be spending more with them, so I guess they can afford  that much of a loss/discount on the Pulse Xfi as you are supposed to then fork up another $2,500 more:
 
If you want to upgrade from Pulse Xfi: $2489

Why would LH Labs think that those who didn't orginally jump on a few hundred dollars upgrade from nonXfi to Xfi all of a sudden be interested in a several thousands dollar upgrade.  All this does is cause more confusion, mayhem, resentment and those trying to skirt the system to get better deals. Exercise some sensibility guys.
